The phone attracted a crowd of classmates.
Upon learning that it was a color touchscreen, everyone who gathered around couldn't help but show envy.
This is in high school.
Even ordinary mobile phones are not something everyone owns, let alone the latest touchscreen phones. No high school student can resist the temptation of a touchscreen phone.
Some people were curious about where the phone came from, because just by looking at its appearance, they knew it wasn't cheap. Everyone knew a little about Li Kaile's family background, so it was impossible for him to be so extravagant.
"It was given to me by Brother Chen."
Li Kaile glanced at Zhou Chen, and seeing that Zhou Chen didn't seem to object, he bluntly stated the truth.
What!
Upon hearing that it was a gift from Zhou Chen, all the classmates were astonished. They never expected Zhou Chen to be so generous, giving away a phone worth at least a thousand yuan.
In a short time,
When everyone looked at Zhou Chen, their expressions were complicated.
Li Kaile is Zhou Chen's tagalong, which is common knowledge, but no one expected that a tagalong would receive such treatment. Now, many male classmates want to be Zhou Chen's tagalong.
Zhou Chen was just too generous, so generous that they were envious and jealous.
Looking at his classmates' expressions, Li Kaile felt smug. He wanted everyone to know that following Zhou Chen meant there was good fortune.
Do you have the latest touchscreen phone that comes with a stylus?
Ha ha……
The news that Zhou Chen gave Li Kaile a cell phone quickly spread, demonstrating Zhou Chen's generosity.
The most appealing aspect is the ability to play Candy Crush on a mobile phone.
That day, many people came to ask where they bought the touchscreen phone and how much it cost.
When Li Kaile revealed the price of the phone, he once again stunned many people.
In another class,
Zhou Na overheard her classmates discussing how Zhou Chen had given away a phone worth over two thousand yuan.
She tried hard to control her expression, striving not to let anyone see her emotional changes.
Honestly,
Zhou Chen gave away such an expensive phone so readily; her feelings were quite complicated.
When the family divided their assets, she only received a little more than this, but now, Zhou Chen is giving away something so expensive without a second thought.
It's impossible not to feel a pang of sadness.
Especially since her classmates might intentionally or unintentionally mention that they are Zhou Chen's relatives, they might also receive a phone call from her. This would undoubtedly be a devastating blow to Zhou Na.
after all,
She used to be Zhou Chen's second sister. If she hadn't fallen out with Zhou Chen, would she have received the exact same phone?
Zhou Na felt a mix of emotions.
In the evening,
Zhou Ling was sitting in front of the computer, playing Candy Crush.
As his belly grew bigger each day, Zhao Kun, in order to pass the time, somehow acquired a second-hand computer.
Zhou Ling then used the computer to pass the time.
She discovered the game Happy Match by chance, and this discovery was like discovering a new world. It was extremely interesting, and she felt a great sense of accomplishment as she progressed through the levels.
As far as she knew, no one in the entire high school had passed more challenges than her.
"I don't know who designed such a fun game. It's so much more interesting than watching TV."
Zhou Ling's self-admiration
She really wanted to know how many levels this game had, what the final level was like, and how difficult it was.
It was this curiosity that kept her engrossed in it.
The ringing of her cell phone drew Zhou Ling's attention away from the computer screen.
Upon seeing that it was a call from Sun Tingting,
Zhou Ling answered the phone casually, intending to brag to Sun Tingting about how many levels she had just cleared.
However,
Before she could even speak about it, the news brought by Sun Tingting made Zhou Ling swallow the words that were on the tip of her tongue.
Zhou Chen actually gave someone a phone worth over two thousand yuan?
Are you crazy?
"That phone has a touchscreen and you can even play match-3 games on it. It's a pity it's too expensive, otherwise I would like to ask my family to buy me one."
"But I have to say, your brother... no, I mean Zhou Chen, is too generous. He can give away a phone worth more than two thousand yuan. If you didn't know better, you would think that Li Kaile is his younger brother."
Sun Tingting's tone was full of envy.
Meanwhile, Zhou Ling on the other end of the phone...
Her face was grim, her brows furrowed; she was deeply resentful.
Back then, in order to get her dowry, she repeatedly made trouble with Zhou Chen. In the end, she not only didn't get a penny, but was also called an ingrate and earned a bad reputation.
And now?
Zhou Chen gave away a phone worth over two thousand yuan to an outsider. Why should he? Li Kaile doesn't deserve it at all. If anyone should be given a phone, it should be to the three siblings.
"It was intentional, he must have done it on purpose."
"He just wanted to disgust us, the three of us siblings, and make us regret breaking up with him."
"I won't fall for it, Zhou Chen. I've seen through your trick. You won't see that happen. I won't let you succeed."
Zhou Ling said through gritted teeth.
As they were talking,
Zhou Ling felt a sharp pain in her stomach, which instantly made her break out in a cold sweat and curl up in the chair.
The excruciating pain subsided after a long while.
Zhou Ling blamed everything on Zhou Chen, saying that Zhou Chen was the one who made her feel bad and caused her physical discomfort.
"I can't get angry, or I'll fall into his trap."
"It's just a phone that costs two thousand yuan, it's not like I can't afford it."
Zhou Ling decided that she also wanted to buy a phone worth over two thousand yuan. Zhou Chen deliberately tried to upset the three siblings, but she refused to fall for it.
then,
Zhou Ling opened her phone, edited a text message, and sent it to Zhou Chen as her retaliation.
Zhou Chen, who was studying at his desk, saw that familiar, unmarked number send another message, and his expression flashed.
Upon opening it, the contents made Zhou Chen chuckle involuntarily.
They actually portrayed his gift of the phone to Li Kaile as a conspiracy to embarrass the three siblings and make them regret it.
I must say, Zhou Ling, you have a knack for making things up.
They've got a knack for creating something from nothing.
But it seems you, Zhou Ling, are taking yourself too seriously. Do I really need to go through all this trouble to send you a phone just to make you regret it?
Zhou Chen didn't want to explain, nor did he bother to explain.
He didn't care whether the three siblings regretted it or not, and he had no interest in doing such a thing. In his heart, whether the three ungrateful children lived or died was none of his business.
Delete it cleanly and decisively.
He also wanted to complain about the telecom company, urging them to hurry up and release a function to block text messages; he was getting annoyed to death by Zhou Ling, that lunatic.
They keep sending annoying text messages, it's endless.
Although he doesn't care, it still affects his mood.
Zhou Ling, staring at her phone and waiting for a reply, once again failed to receive a response from Zhou Chen, not even a single word of criticism.
Ignore it!
To completely ignore her existence.
Zhou Ling clenched her fists, her teeth itching with anger, yet she was utterly helpless.
